Twice one-shots :)

Fire and Ice (Just Once) | Mitzu

Tzuyu and Mina stood agonisingly close. A meter away and Mina could already feel her body steaming up. Tzuyu cringed and took a step back, the reduction of the heat flowing through Mina's body in a wave of relief.

Tzuyu looked at the flames dancing from her palms and the scorched grass beneath her feet. Her red eyes wanted to cry, but of course it was impossible. The tears would just evaporate as soon as they touched her searing hot skin. It was just as impossible to cry as it was to step any closer to Mina without causing her harm.

"Tzuyu.." Mina said, her gaze softening at the sight of Tzuyu's vulnerable state. "It's really not that bad. You can come closer." She breathed. Her arms and cheeks were red with a sunburn like sheen. The grass beneath her was wet with the water that had dripped from her icy body and her grey eyes had been darkened to a dull obsidian black. The damage that Tzuyu had done to her just by standing a meter away had already been too much.

"I can't." Tzuyu wrung her flaming hands together nervously, but Mina's eyes never wavered from her own.

"It's ok." She mumbled. Mina didn't care if she was burned. She didn't care if she was in incredible pain whenever she moved within two meters of Tzuyu. She didn't care that she was slowly fading away, melting into nothing. She just wanted to be near her. Just once. 

Mina walked forward, her hand outstretched, steam rising from it profusely as she moved closer and closer.

Tzuyu tried to dull her flame. She tried to hide her hands behind her back and curl her toes to put them out. She held in her smouldering breath and closed her eyes.

There was a moment of nothing before a cool sensation moved through Tzuyu's cheek. A sizzling sound could be heard before a moan of pain and grunt of concentration. Tzuyu opened her eyes to see the reason for her entire existence standing before her. Her face was contorted in pain and her hand was on Tzuyu's cheek. Her whole body was steaming and burning.

"Mina!" Tzuyu cried out and tried to lurch away, but Mina caught her with her other hand. Her features were slowly dripping away. Faster and faster the longer she stayed. 

"Stay." Mina spoke through her lips that had begun to droop from her face. Tzuyu was horrified to watch her melt at her own hands. This was all her fault. This was never supposed to work out.

In an instant, Mina enveloped Tzuyu in her arms and the strangest sensation flowed through her body. A cool stillness that seemed to seep into her core.

As she gave into the hug, she felt light headed and sleepy.

"I love you forever." Mina spoke in her ear. "I'll be with you forever."

If you take a step back, you can see Mina's body melt into pure water. Tzuyu's body has been extinguished and returns to solid stone.

Mina loves Tzuyu forever. No past tense.

The water always reaches the land.

Even if it's just once.
